Default Set Page Orientation in Code? - 08-02-2004 , 09:43 AM






Does anyone know of a way to set page orientation in code?

I have a document that must be printed in Landscape or it won't come out
right. The default orientation in my system is Portrait, and I don't
want to rely on the users to choose the right orientation in the Print
dialogue.

Is there some way to temporarily reset the default orientation, so that
the dialogue comes up with Landscape already selected?

Thanks --
Doug Schwarz

Never mind. I have just figured out that since I set up my report as
Landscape in the Report Designer, if I use the REPORT FORM PROMPT
dialogue, FoxPro already "knows" it's Landscape. (What's more, the
orientation option is not available to the users unless they go into
Properties, so they are unlikely to change it -- and it they do, they
can hardly blame ME!)

Thanks anyway --
Doug

You seem awfully sure. An anonymous quote from my sig
collection:

"Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other
possibilities."

You are one of those other possibilities. Exhausted yet?
